INTRODUCTION 


The  following  pages  show  results  of  an  effort  made  by  the  writer  to 
ascertain  the  nature  of  what  miglit  be  called  the  literatui'e  of  his  native 
town,  —  how  the  thoughts  or  affairs  of  those  who  have  been  born  or 
resident  in  it  have  found  an  expression  on  printed  pages.  These  re- 
sults have  been  a  surprise,  a  pleasure,  and  a  satisfaction  to  him,  and  he 
trusts  that  they  will  be  to  others,  —  a  surprise  from  the  number  and 
often  the  rarity  of  the  works,  which  it  is  a  pleasure  to  enumerate ;  and 
a  satisfaction,  joined  with  this  pleasure,  that  their  almost  unexceptional 
characteristic  is  that  of  religious  faithfulness,  of  patriotism,  of  help  to 
charity,  to  education,  or  to  good  citizenship,  and  that  there  is  so  little 
that  the  authors  would  wish  to  efface.  This  general  estimate,  after  a 
review,  seems  fairly  and  sufficiently  to  annote  the  collection. 

And  this  material  does  not  make  a  merely  local  story,  for  it  touches 
wider  than  local  subjects,  and  also  shows  to  some  extent,  representa- 
tively, what  an  old  New  England  town — neither  obscure  nor  pre- 
eminent—  thought,  did,  witnessed,  or  produced,  and  through  two  and  a 
half  centuries  has  had  put  on  many  jirinted  pages.  It  is  not  a  mere 
dull  list  of  things  nearly  passed  away  and  forgotten,  but  an  interesting 
story  of  growth  from  small  beginnings  to  all  we  now  enjoy  ;  and  one 
that  illustrates  how,  on  wider  sphere  and  scale,  far  more  widely  spread 
populations  have  also  been  growing.  It  becomes,  indeed,  to  a  consid- 
erable extent  an  outline  history  of  the  intellectual  and  material  life  of 
the  times  and  of  the  people.  It  shows  how  through  much  of  the 
Colonial  period  the  chief  expression  of  thought  was  by  the  ministry, 
and  religious,  with  little  of  the  amusing,  but  something  of  the  imagi- 
native, and  more  of  the  historical;  how  the  Revolution  associated  much 
writing  with  a  place ;  how  in  the  earlier  period  of  the  nation  a  wider 
variety  of  thought  and  of  addresses  was  developed ;  how,  for  fifty 
years,  the  fervid  emotions  of  the  Fourth  of  July  Oration  were  pro- 
claimed, as  in  many  of  the  greater  and  minor  towns ;  how  changing 
theological  opinions  grew  ;  how  political  and  educational  and  benevo- 
lent affairs  became  more  prominent;  how  the  press  flourished;  how 
general  business  enterprise  expanded  ;  and  how  literature  increased  in 
Bcope,  and  often  in  value. 


iv  INTRODUCTION. 

We  find,  thus,  early  religious  works  by  divines  eminent  in  their 
time,  printed  in  the  old  home  they  hud  left,  or  by  the  rude  presses  of 
their  new  country.  We  find  early  American  poetry  by  Johnson,  by 
Oakes,  by  Anne  Bradstreet,  —  not  the  sweetest,  but  what  we  had. 
We  find  that  the  once  engrossing  subject  of  witchcraft  was  treated  by  a 
minister,  a  Charlestown  boy,  in  a  book  that  now  brings  more  than  its 
weight  in  gold.  We  find  some  of  the  marked  events  celebrated  as  they 
passed,  some  of  the  well-known  inhabitants  commemorated  when  they 
died.  Tlien  comes  the  long  Bunker  Hill  story,  productive  of  a  paper 
almost  to  every  patriot  engaged,  and  the  battle  not  yet  ended  in  print. 
Then  the  town  resettled  after  war,  and  the  printing-press  established, — 
the  first  newspaper,  first  pamphlet,  first  volume,  first  copper-plate, 
first  octav^o,  first  American  map  of  Bunker  Hill,  —  all  firsts,  until  the 
earlier  first  that  bibliographers  sometimes  discover.  Meanwhile,  and 
afterwards,  appear  continuous  legislative  acts  on  various  affairs,  and,  in 
time,  municipal  publications,  —  at  first  small,  but  finally  growing  to 
bulk,  to  multi[)licity,  and  to  nearly  utter  extinction.  Then  follows  a 
wider  and  wider  range  of  subjects,  as  the  record  shows. 

One  reason,  and  not  a  minor  one,  for  the  production  of  this  work  is 
a  renewal  of  what  the  writer  has  advocated  for  certain  libraries  with 
which  he  has  been  associated,  the  claim  of  the  importance  of  placing 
and  preserving  on  their  shelves  all  proper  aids  and  illustrations  to 
Local  History  pertinent  to  the  position  or  purposes  of  the  collection. 
And  he  offers  this  work  as  a  suggestion  —  not  a  model  —  of  something 
that  seems  still  to  be  needed  for  many  towns.  The  acquisition  of  what 
such  lists  may  contain  need  not  be,  even  now,  excessively  difiicult ; 
for  although  when  attempted  by  a  single  person  it  may  be  one  of 
those  efforts  nearly  enough  impossible  to  be  exciting  and  interesting, 
when  undertaken  by  a  hundred  persons,  each  of  whom  supplies  even 
a  single  book  or  pamphlet,  a  large  aggregate  can  be  formed  by  small 
individual  sacrifice  or  contribution.  Pamphlets  that,  scattered  sepa- 
rately may  be  of  moderate  interest  or  value,  often  become,  when  put 
together,  like  the  signatures  of  a  complete  and  important  book.  And 
signatures  like  these  are  every  year  becoming  more  scarce.  Through 
the  country  the  omnivorous  junk-dealer  has  drawn  his  net,  and  the 
waste-basket  received  its  victims.  And  yet  the  old  closets,  drawers, 
or  boxes  may  still  yield  things  desired. 

If  some  one  in  each  town  forms  a  List  of  Publications  related  to  it, 
a  great  index  of  thought,  biography,  and  history  would  be  made. 

Kearly  all  the  works  mentioned  on  these  pages  are  to  be  found  in 
public  or  corporate  libraries ;    no  one  of  which,   however,  contains 


INTRODUCTION'.  V 

more  than  a  portion.  A  great  deal  is  thus  accessible  to  those  who 
search  for  information.  To  such  collections  the  writer  is  much  in- 
debted. 

This  book  was  begun  early  in  1879,  and  a  considerable  portion 
written  in  that  year,  but  articles  to  be  mentioned  were  so  continually 
found  that  the  writer  hesitated  to  print.  The  type  was,  however,  set 
in  the  spring  of  1880,  and  then  a  European  tour  caused  a  suspension 
of  the  work.  Meanwhile  the  Memorial  History  of  Boston,  including 
Charlestown,  was  announced,  and  the  writer  curtailed  the  notes  for 
the  latter  part  of  his  book.  Its  divisions  explain  its  plan :  first,  com- 
positions by  founders  of  the  town  who  did  not  remain  long  in  it;  then 
monographs  by  natives  or  longer  residents  while  colonial  relations 
remained  with  Great  Britain,  chronologically  arranged,  and  passages 
in  various  books.  Then  the  Bunker  Hill  material,  with  references  to 
over  four  hundred  publications,  besides  newspapers,  some  important 
articles  only  in  which  it  was  practicable  to  mention.  Finally,  the 
more  copious  matter  related  to  the  town,  after  the  Revolution,  chrono- 
logically arranged  to  show  what  appeared  year  by  year.  A  note  on 
the  thirtieth  page  explains  this  portion,  that  altogether  contains  about 
a  thousand  titles,  besides  a  large  number  mentioned  in  previously 
printed  lists  to  which  reference  is  made.  In  addition  is  a  list  of  pub- 
lications printed  in  the  town  during  fifty  years  from  the  establishment 
of  the  press  there  in  1786,  and,  in  the  Personal  Index,  reference  to 
about  four  hundred  and  fifty  memorial  or  biographical  articles. 

The  collection  of  titles  proved  no  easy  affair.  They  belong  to  pub- 
lications often  so  rare  that  only  a  single  copy  could  be  found  ;  accounts 
of  some  must  be  taken  from  descriptions  not  always  full ;  and  some 
are  so  rare  that,  as  far  as  the  writer  has  learned,  no  copies  have  been 
for  many  a  year  owned  in  the  town  to  which  they  are  related.  Rec- 
ords of  not  a  few  were  scattered,  and  only  to  be  obtained  by  search, 
and  not  a  few  also  were  unrecorded.  No  public  or  corporate  library, 
as  already  stated,  appears  to  possess  more  than  a  fraction  of  them. 
Even  the  town  itself  does  not  possess  a  complete  collection  of  its  own 
municipal  publications,  and  such  a  one  of  the  personal  memorials 
described  hereafter  has  probably  never  been  formed.  All  the  publica- 
tions described  that  appeared  during  the  lives  of  their  authors  have 
been,  perhaps  without  exception,  made  public  by  their  act  or  consent, 
and  the  writer  trusts  that  he  has  not  passed  the  line  that  should  pro- 
tect private  affairs.  The  titles  of  many  minor  works,  chiefly  later, 
are  abridged,  but  sufficiently  given.  Some  very  long  titles  are  thus 
treated.     The  full  matter  would  be  unnecessary,  and  be  impracticably 


VI  INTRODUCTION. 

bulky.     All,  it  is  believed,  are  directly  related  to  the  town  or  to  an 
inhabitant. 

Notwithstanding  the  number  of  names  and  titles  and  much  labor, 
omissions  will,  very  likely,  be  found.  If  the  last  title  for  such  a  list 
was  awaited,  it  could  hardly  ever  be  jiriuted.  Accuracy,  also,  has 
been  sought,  but  evidence  has  been  met  that  it  is  not  attained  in  all 
cases,  and  that  reference  to  the  word  is  to  be  made  with  modesty. 
Statements  will  occur,  as,  for  example,  on  a  title-page  (p.  89),  that 
mentions  an  Address  by  Mr.  Webster,  at  Bunker  Hill,  June  17,  1775, 
but  does  not  tell  us  how  he  managed  the  performance  on  that  interest- 
irg  occasion.  Or,  two  notes  (pp.  25,  32)  show  how  a  couple  of 
ardent  Frenchmen  had  a  desperate  grapple  with  some  of  our  proper 
names.  There  are  also  some  other  statements,  not  quoted  on  these 
pages,  that  appear  more  to  need  alteration. 

With  a  desire  to  help  in  preserving  the  names  and  the  words  of 
many  good  people  who  have  gone,  the  present  book  appears  as  a  guide  ; 
a  help  to  its  own  enlargement ;  a  memorial  of  life,  of  thought,  and  of 
history  in  Charlestown ;  and  a  contribution  to  the  commemoration  of 
its  two  hundred  and  fiftieth  birthday.

THE  BEGINNING. 


A  PENINSULA  a  mile  long,  nearly  surrounded  by  broad,  still  waters, 
varied  by  five  low  hills,  and  overgrown  by  forests  of  oaks,  except 
where  clearings  had  recently  been  made  towards  the  outer  and  larger 
end,  and  inland  some  square  miles  of  wild  lands ;  a  few  poor,  cheerless 
cottages  and  a  Governor's  house  in  the  clearings ;  a  few  small  settle- 
ments hardly  within  hail;  north  and  west  and  south  a  vast  wilderness, 
more  mysterious  than  are  now  the  recesses  of  the  Dark  Continent, 
and  eastward  three  thousand  miles  of  rough  and  stormy  sea,  only  to  be 
crossed  in  cramped  and  comfortless  vessels ;  dear  old  homes,  much  of 
kindred,  and  almost  all  of  civilization  and  Christian  fellowship  beyond 
that  sea ;  a  few  hundred  people,  worn,  sick,  or  sorely  tried,  endeavor- 
ing to  call  and  make  this  place  home  and  country. 

That  is  where  the  works  of  these  Charlestown  people  began. 

Small  indeed  were  the  opportunities  of  literature,  and  yet  on  pages 
not    few  —  plain,   or    even    rude    perhaps,    like    nature    there  —  the

founders  impressed  what  they  have  stamped  on  more  than  them  and 
that  peninsula.  For  they  were  no  illiterate  emigrants  and  frontier 
adventurers.  With  human  infirmities,  perhaps,  but  with  grand  pur- 
pose and  strong  religious  principle,  certainly,  they  showed  their  quality 
from  the  start,  whether  on  the  roughly  printed  leaf,  or  on  the  stern 
land  they  and  their  associates  conquered  for  God  and  for  freedom. 

Thirty  years  later  the  view  grew  better. 

The  little  village  was  covering  more  of  the  peninsula,  and  farms 
were  scattered  inland ;  some  look  of  the  snug  comfort  and  the  quaint- 
ness  of  Lincolnshire  and  Yorkshire  country  appeared ;  neighborly  set- 
tlements were  growing  along  the  coast  and  among  the  thick  forests 
around.  Yet  there  was  plain  fare  and  plenty  of  hard  work  for  almost 
every  one,  and  the  old  home  was  scarcely  easier  to  reach ;  the  number 
of  the  people  was  a  little  greater,  health  better,  material  wealth  very 
moderate;  but  just  as  resolute  purpose,  a  sturdy  support  of  a  pious 
and  learned  ministry,  and  a  College  and  a  printing-press  in  the  next 
town,  —  a  Charlestown  boy  graduated  at  the  one,  and  his  little  book 
printed  at  the  other,  while  two  of  the  ministers  were  publishing  in 
London. 

Slow  growth,  perhaps,  followed,  and  no  overcrowding  of  the  press 
by  the  townspeople.  But  let  us  look  at  their  work  in  a  literary  way, 
and  learn  what  came  of  it  when  the  town  they  planted  had  fairly 
taken  root.  Crops  are  not  apt  to  grow  fast  in  New  England  soils, 
but  they  are  apt  to  prove  worth  harvesting.

TOWN   PERIOD. 

1776-1847. 

The  History  of  the  town,  previous  to  this  period,  has  been  fully 
written  by  Mr.  Frothingham  (see  1845-49),  and  Dr.  Budington  (see 
1842-45).  Its  Church  Records  (see  1880)  have  been  reproduced  in 
print.  Its  experiences  during  June  1775,  and  immediately  afterwards, 
have  been  described  fully  by  Mr.  Frothingham  (1849),  and  by  Dr. 
Ellis  (1843).  Dr.  Bartlett  gave,  with  ample  and  interesting  notes,  an 
account  of  its  affairs'to  1814.  Some  of  these  notes,  with  others  from 
rare  published  works  or  hitherto  unprinted  records,  that  appear  along 
the  following  dates,  present  a  concise  yet  rather  minute  review  of  the 
leading  incidents  of  the  histoiy  of  the  town  to  the  present  time,  and 
various  works  mentioned  show  a  great  deal  already  in  print  about  its 
thoughts,  doings,  societies  and  individual  inhabitants  —  a  mass  of  ma- 
terial that  if  reproduced  would  make  a  single  work  impracticably  large, 
and  treating  too  much,  perhaps,  of  subjects  of  moderate  importance. 

The  events  of  June  1775  terminated  the  Colonial  period,  and 
within  a  year,  an  action  by  the  people  bejran  a  new  period  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  |)lace,  when.  May  28,  1776,  in  Town  Meeting  they 
"  Voted  Unanimously,  That  it  is  the  mind  of  the  Inhabitants,  that 
our  Representatives  be  advised,  —  That  if  the  Continental  Congress 
should,  (for  the  safety  of  the  Colonies,)  declare  them  Independent  of 
the  Kingdom  of  Great  Britain,  they  will  in  that  case,  solemnly  engage 
with  their  lives  and  fortunes,  to  support  them  in  that  measure."  Also, 
"  Voted  Unanimously,  that  the  town  clerk  serve  our  Representatives 
with  a  copy  of  this  vote  for  their  direction."  And  thus  Charlestown 
ratified  the  great  Declaration  thirty-seven  days  before  it  was  pro- 
claimed "  and  published  to  the  world." 

After  the  destruction  of  the  town  within  the  peninsula,  "  many  of 
the  former  inhabitants  returned  "  from  the  exile  into  which  they  had 
been  forced,  and  (continued  Dr.  Bartlett),  "  commenced  according  to 
their  respective  means,  to  repair  their  waste  places.  A  few  of  the 
number  were  able  to  erect  convenient  dwellings,  whilst  others,  like 
their  hardy  predecessors,  were  only  covered  with  temporary  shelters." 
Tiie  Parish  Records  state  that  in  "  1777  *  *  the  returning  inhabitants 
in  their  then  distressed  situations,  did  make  it  one  of  their  first  objects 
to  provide  a  house   to  re-establish  the  public  worship  of  God  in  this 


30  TOWN   PERIOD. 

town."  They  "  found  no  other  or  better  place  in  which  to  worship 
than  an  old  block-house  left  by  the  British  troops  *  *  in  1776."  This 
stood  upon  "  Town  Hill,"  and  "was  appropriated  as  a  sohool-i'oom,  a 
meeting-house,  and  for  other  necessary  purposes."  ''  The  first  admin- 
istration of  the  Lord's  Supper  [said  the  venerable  pastor,  Thomas 
Prentice]  in  Charlestown  since  the  destruction  by  the  cruelest  British 
Enemies,  was  Nov.  8,  1778,  with  great  solemnity  and  fulness  of  mem- 
bers beyond  expectation,"  (Ciiurch  Record).  In  the  block-house, 
wrote  Dr.  Bartlett,  "  Sept.  4,  1780,  *  *  uninfluenced  by  political  dis- 
sentions,  we  gave  our  first  suffrages  for  a  chief  magistrate  and  legisla- 
tors, under  the  Constitution  of  this  Commonwealth."  There  were  48 
votes. 

Through  discouragement  and  trial,  through  suffering  and  earnest 
effort,  the  town  once  more  arose,  along  its  "  main  street,"  and  lesser 
ways  around  the  parts  of  the  peninsula  towards  Boston,  around  its  old 
market  square,  then  so  suggestive  of  the  market  places  in  pleasant 
English  country  villages  from  which  not  a  few  ancestors  of  its  people 
came,  and  on  and  around  the  old  Town  Hill,  that  from  its  history  and 
its  associations,  well  deserves  a  title  sometime  given  it,  truly  describing 
it  an  "  American  Shrine." 

Little  help  had  the  people  from  Congress,  lottery,  or  other  public 
sources  then  feeble  in  means,  but  much,  it  seems,  from  their  own  good 
arms,  and  hearts,  and  heads.  They  had  to  work  out  their  loss, 
£156,900,  18s.  8c?.,  —  a  large  sum  at  that  period.  And  out  they 
worked.  In  1785  five  hundred  and  fifty  persons  had  one  hundred  and 
fifty-one  buildings,  wrote  Dr.  Bartlett.  In  1783  a  handsome  meeting 
house  had  been  liuilt  on  ''  Town  Hill."  It  was  72  feet  long,  52  wide, 
had  "  an  elegant  steeple,"  "  a  bell  of  1300  weight  presented  by  Messrs. 
Champion,  Dickason  and  Burgis,  merchants  of  London,"  (three  times 
recast,  now  in  the  tower),  and  a  clock  by  Hun.  Thomas  Russell, 
(Dr.  B.).  Various  manufactures  that  had  flourished  before  1775, 
were  revived,  "  particularly  *  *  of  pot  and  pearl  ashes,"  vessels,  "  rum, 
leather  in  all  its  branches,  silver,  tin,  brass,  and  pewter,"  and  still  later, 
other  kinds,  and  general  trade  were  added.     (IMorse,  1797.) 

Meanwhile  the  town's  affairs  were  getting  into  print,  and  the  ac- 
count of  publications  about  them,  is  continued.  There  does  not  appear 
to  have  been  much  to  record  before  1785,  when  the  Printing  Press 
was  set  up  in  Charlestown.  More  than  one  hundred  and  seventy  books 
or  pamphlets,  some  large,  some  small,  all  now  rare,  that  came  from  it 
within  fifty  years,  are  hereafter  mentioned.  There  seems  little  evid- 
ence that  any  considerable  amount  of  literary  treasure  had  been 
destroyed  in  the  great  conflagration.  Ways  of  the  world  and  the 
modern  paper-mill  have  made  more  havoc  among  publications  related 
to  the  town  than  did  the  "  cruelest  British."

and  a  draw  30  ft  wide.  (B.)  Its  opening,  June  17tli,  1786,  was  "  the  tirst  celebration  of

Tlie  ferniimis  of  this  once  important  work  was  in  C.  The  first  officers  were  men 
prominent  in  Boston  and  C.  '"Tlie  science  of  Civil  Engineering  was  almost  unknown 
to  anv  one  in  this  part  of  the  country,  and  *  *  many  dithculties  "  were  met  with  •'  for 
the  w'anl  of  retjui-ite  scientific  knowledge."  The  survey  was  completed  Aug.  2,  1794; 
the  Canal,  from  the  Charles  to  the  Merrinnic,  was  navigable  in  1803.  The  income  had 
to  be  used  for  renewals,  alterations,  etc.,  "and  no  dividend  could  be  or  was  declared  until 
Feb.  1,  18I1J."  One  hundred  assessments  were  laid,  Jan.  1794  to  Sept.  1,  ISlt),  making 
each  share  cost,  with  interest,  $1,455,  and  the  whole  work  $l,lti4,200.  Twenty-live 
dividends  were  paid,  the  last  ,Jau.  30,  184:!,  averaging  l^rfo  per  cent  per  year.  In  1830 
the  Packet  Boat  left  C.  "near  the  B.  Hill  Tavern,"  at  8  a.  m.,  and  reached  Chelms- 
ford at  3  p.  M.  It  was  an  hour  by  stage  thence  to  Lowell.  The  railroad  ruined  the 
business.     (See  Eddy,  1843.)

In  this  work,  and  two  publications  mentioned  1811,  181G, — all  now  very  scarce, — 
will  be  found  three  illustrative  foldingplates  and  descriptions  of  the  Prison.  Tiiey  state 
that  this  structure,  with  "about  5  acres  of  ground,  including  extensive  flats,"  cost 
"about  $170,000.  *  *  Competent  judges  pronounce  "  it  "  to  be  one  of  the  strongest  and 
best  prisons  in  the  world."  It  was  "built  of  hewn  stone"  during  180-1-5,  in  "  a  pleas- 
ant and  healthful  situation,  cominanding  an  extensive,  rich,  and  variegated  prospect." 
The  main  building  was  200  ft.  long,  28  to  44  wide,  and  4  and  5  stories  high.  The  tirst 
floor  was  formed  by  "  a  tier  of  hewn  stone,  9  feet  long,  and  20  inches  thick."  The  work 
yard  was  375  bv  2G0  feet,  the  building  containing  Avorkshops,  kitchen,  chapel,  etc.,  was 
of  brick,  ^27  by  25  feet,  with  2  stories  and  a  basement.  Dec.  12,  1805,  the  first  two 
convicts  were  received,  and  by  end  of  1805,  thirty-four.  Dr.  Bartlett  (1814)  wrote  of 
the  Canal,  Navy  Yard,  and  Prison,  "we  cherish  a  belief  that  these  *  *  will  be  so  esti- 
mated and  conducted,  as  to  answer  the  publick  expectations,  and  promote  the  happiness 
of  the  town."

many  respectable  citizens  of  this  town  to  the  state  of  morals  among  the  ciiildren  and

This  long,  intricate,  and  unhappy  controversy,  treated  in  the  above  works,  included  a 
charge  of  literary  |)iracy  by  Miss  A.  against  Dr.  M.,  and  severe  censure  of  him,  together 
with  some  of  the  theological  strife  of  the  times.  "The  charge  was  met  at  last,  as  it 
should  have  been  at  first,  by  an  examination  and  comparison  of  the  two  works  "  (  His- 
tories of  N.  E.)  This  showed  "the  ast(nniding  fact,  that  Miss  Adams  *  *  as  an  author 
was  herself  guilty  of  a  real  and  gross  violation  of  the  rights  of  another  author;  she  hav- 
ing copied  verbatim,  or  with  only  colorable  alterations,  nearly  one  third  of  her  whole 
work,  loo  out  of  bVi  pages,  from  Dr.  Ramsav's  Historv  of  the  American  Hevolution." 
(S.  E.  M<n-se,  18G7,  in  Sprague's  Life  of  Dr."M.,  N.  V.,  1874,  p.  277.)  This  fact  ap-

one  of  the  most  prominent  of  C,  some  of  whose  works  are  now  to  be  found  there.  Dr. 
Bartlett,  chiefly  in  his  notes,  gives  a  full  Ri'view  of  the  institutions,  etc.,  of  the  Toirn  in

The  above  Personal  Index  contains  references  to  about  a  dozen  "  Lives,"  in 
volumes,  eighty  memorial  pampldets,  and  tiiree  iiundred  and  sixty  notices  of 
various  lengths,  or  about  four  hundred  and  fifty  articles  describing  about  two 
hundred  and  forty  persons,  natives  or  residents  of  Charlestown.  Tliis  large 
amount  of  material  already  printed  seems  to  render  unnecessary  a  biograpliical 
dictionary  of  the  town,  that  the  writer,  several  years  ago,  designed.  For  the 
present,  at  least,  lie  ])rints  only  one  memoir  described  under  tlie  date  1881). 
Altliough  the  above  list  is  large,  it  can  probably  be  increased.  Many  obituary 
notices,  not  included,  are  to  be  found  in  newspapers,  especially  in  the  Biniker- 
Hill  Aurora.  Articles  of  this  sort  are  often  luirriL-dly  written,  and  more  caretiil 
performances  are  desirable,  but  the  former  are,  in  many  cases,  the  only  ac- 
counts that  exist.  No  complete  collection  has,  probably-,  ever  been  made  of  the 
memorial  pamphlets.  That  which  is  the  least  incomplete  has  only  been  formed 
by  much  research.  Even  exjjlorations  among  the  greater  antiquities  of  various 
nations  created  within  the  past  thousand  years  hardly  impress  one  more  with  a

sense  of  the  perishable  nature  of  human  things,  than  do  these  monuments  of 
some  of  the  persons  most  notable  in  tiieir  time  among  their  fellow  townspeople. 
Tliey  belong  to  a  valuable  class  of  local  literature  that  deserves  better  preser- 
vation than  it  has  been  apt  to  obtain,  and  tliat  is  wanted  and  welcomed  in  not  a 
few  libraries. 

The  Antiquities  of  a  Town,  that  are  its  historical  monuments,  are  interesting 
subjects  for  description,  and  it  would  be  pleasant,  when  writing  this  list  of  liter- 
ary works,  to  add  a  chapter  about  Cbarlestown,  such  as  might  be  written  about 
some  other  places.  But  neither  the  modes  nor  the  means  of  the  earlier  people 
created  any  considerable  object  that  could  survive  the  great  lire  of  1775.  Many 
stones  or  tombs  in  the  Burial  Ground,  indeed,  escaped  destruction,  and  the  in- 
scriptions they  bear  may  be  published,  the  writer  has  been  informed.  An  arti- 
cle on  the  public  or  private  structures  of  more  recent  times  would  be,  if  correct, 
of  some  value  in  showing  how  American  ways  have  grown  to  expression  in  one 
of  the  most  prominent  of  the  arts,  —  that  of  building,  —  but  it  is  not  necessary 
to  make  it  so  personal  or  limited  as  to  apply  it  to  any  one  town.
